2000 Rover 75: petrol or diesel?
Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.
Petrol
61% pass first time (all 2000 cars: 61%)
Stands out: suspension arm 3.4×, link ball joint covers 5.1×, airbag warning light 4×
1,013 MOTsSee the petrol guide ›
Diesel
66% pass first time (all 2000 cars: 61%)
Nothing stands out above the usual rate
151 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›
Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
